The Cathedral Notre-Dame de Strasbourg is a stunning example of Gothic architecture and a highlight of any visit to Alsace. Its towering, ornate facade, crafted from pink sandstone, changes color with the light throughout the day, creating a mesmerizing sight. Inside, the cathedral is filled with intricate stained-glass windows and a soaring nave that conveys a profound sense of awe. A unique feature is the astronomical clock, which draws crowds daily for its intricate display at noon. Visitors

The Orange Garden is a public activity park full of artistic atmosphere. As soon as you enter the main entrance, you will see some posters, just like university clubs recruiting people. It is clean and tidy inside, with many modern sculptures.

It is not large in absolute terms, but in a small European town, such a square is already the center of the city. There is a row of small houses between the square and the cathedral, so you can see the spire of the church hanging in the air.

Although Strasbourg has a high status in the Vatican, the Rohan Palace still seems too luxurious. This former bishop's palace can be compared with many top palaces, with one side facing the church and the other side facing the water.

Roughly northeast of Strasbourg, right next to the European Court of Human Rights is a modern glass-walled building. I passed by it a few times and it seemed quite empty. When there were meetings or events, they would be on alert.

One of the best views of Strasbourg definitely belongs to Barrage Vauban with the standing three towers. The best view has to be from the air as always and the best route is above the dam opposite the towers right across. Take the stairs up to the second level and you will be able to see the whole picture. You will be able to view Cathedral Norte Dame from here as well. Be aware that the stairs will closed at 9pm during spring and summer seasons. This area happens to be the best sunset viewing platform as well.
